Schumer Endorses Jerry Nadler Over Carolyn Maloney

“Sen. Chuck Schumer, New York’s most powerful Democrat in Washington, will throw his support behind Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) on Monday in a bruising Manhattan primary contest against the congressman’s longtime ally, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY),” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Schumer becomes the first member of the state’s congressional delegation to take a side in the Aug. 23 race, which pits two House committee chairs with three decades’ service against one another.”
